Speaking to reporters on Wednesday afternoon, Patriots head coach Mike Vrabel said that three offensive linemen - right tackle Morgan Moses, center Garrett Bradbury, and backup tackle Vederian Lowe - along with linebacker Anfernee Jennings didn't practice on Wednesday due to illness. In total, New England had five players missing from practice on Wednesday, with defensive tackle Khyiris Tonga also sidelined with a foot injury.
